I *think* I just did this...

I do have some confusion, though, about whether it'll be successful, and 
how the message got through to the mailing list in the first place.  The 
mailing list is set to be moderated for non-members, so I wouldn't think 
that postings from <anything>@facebookmail.com should get through.  I'm 
not sure if Mailman looks at other headers (besides "From:") to 
determine if the sender is subscribed to the list.

In the list configuration under "Privacy options", I added a sender 
filter to put "^.*@facebookmail.com" into the discard_these_nonmembers 
list, and added a spam filter to hold messages with headers matching 
that same regular expression for moderation (just so a list owner is 
aware that the message was sent - it would have to be manually discarded 
at that point).

Hopefully, between one of these two actions, we won't see these anymore.
